The WWE has released the rules for its brand-extension draft this Tuesday.

The company is preparing a brand split, making its second show, SmackDown, a live broadcast in the process. The event will take place one night after the airing of Raw, where the general managers of each show will be announced.

Brock Lesnar, who was popped for doping this week, will still be among the performers selected in the draft.
